PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. Nv. G. Miller,
well known commission merchant of
this city, reports an exciting experience
with train robbers at Fort Wayne last
night. Miller, who was Pullman pas
senger on the through train which left
Chicago for the east at 3:15 Yesterday
afternoon on the Fort Wayne Road, says
when the train reached Fort Wayne, short
ly before midnight, and while awaiting to
change engines, tough look
ing individual came into the
Pullman slet per soliciting money
for nights lodging. He was not very
successful, and as he was about to leave
the car two men, heavily armed, appeared
at the rear door, and at the same moment
three others, Furnishing revolvers, tried
to effect an entrance at the front door.
Their way was barred by the trainmen,
and a hand to hand struggle ensued.
Mean while, the passengers became panic
s ricken, and scene of terror prevailed
The cries of "robbers," and "police" and
the heroic conduct of the trsinmen finally
frightened he thieves off, and in the ex-
citement they made good their escape
The only damage done Was the breaking
of glass in one of the doors of the sleeper,
and q few minutes later the tram pro,
ceeded on its way east. 1t is supposed
that the "tough-luoking individual went
to size up the wallets and vaIuables of the
passengers.

Wednesday night some burglar or

IDENTIFY intent on doing some enlerprising
burgling They reached the dteIier OF Mr.

engaged in molding the group of stat

Wednesday, Mr. Alluisi, who is doing
the molding in plaster Of these figures,
had just completed bis cast OF Fame,
and mammoth bust Of that lady was
lying on table In the room The door
was forced open, and it was evident that
the burglars had entered with the inten-
ton OF carrying off anything that pre-
sented itself, but the indications were that
they had suddenly changed their purpose
since nothing was missing, and had
suddenly yamOsed the rancho.
Mr.. Elder thinks that they were color
ed thieves, who, after entering he build
ing. saw this white plaster bust lying on
the table just under the skylight, with
the moon shining on II, presenting a
rather CHASTITY appearance. No doubt
they mistook II for dissecting room TO
which Chris Baker had just brought a
fresh cadayer, and, appalled, by the sight,
had incOntinently decamped
Captain Angle of the police force was
informed OF the occurrence by his brother
who is doing the wood work for Mr..
Elder, and lac has taken precaution TO
prevent a repetition Of the burglary, and
a special watchman has also been en-
ployed to guard the building 1t is not
likely, therefore, that any other
thieves will make the attempt
to make way with anything in the place
Had not superstition come to the aid Of
Mr. Elder, however, he would in all pro
bability, have walked up yesterday and
found all his past work gone fornothing.
